I am still making this...always a hit. I add carrots and celery, bay leaves and saute after the meat. Its easy to add and subtract and make a lot in a big pot. Great leftovers too.

I have been making this recipe ever since magazine arrived at my door in 1993. I use the whole can of cranberries, as why toss out the remaining bit? Don't be afraid of salt & pepper and a good sear on the meat. I use a pilsner or amber - whatever I typically have on hand.

Our favorite brisket recipe. No olive oil necessary - leave the fat on while cooking, but trim before serving. I use lipton onion soup mix instead of onion - always comes out perfect. Also, I tend to use 3 lb of brisket and cook about 3 1/2 hours. Add new potatoes two hours in.

Rave reviews with one change - I used Dr. Pepper instead of beer! At Passover, I stock up on cranberry sauce that is made with sugar instead of corn syrup.

Seriously after years this is the BEST brisket EVER!! I am always asked for the recipe when I make it, And it' super easy...
I use an amber beer and double the sauce for garlic buttered noodles and roasted broccoli on the side.

Delicious! My family loves this, served on buns with a side of fritos. Great Sunday dinner.

Pretty awful. All sweet, no sour. Tough after 4.5h; needs at least 6-6.5 hrs braising.
So very many good comfort food brisket recipes...don't waste your time with this one.!

Let me start by saying that I routinely choose 1990's recipes from epicurious over more recent entries; although I love new taste sensations, comfort food always appeals to me.
That said, this was perhaps the MOST disappointing recipe I have ever borrowed from Gourmet/BA/epicurious!
The brisket needs to cook for more than 6 hrs (I should have known better).
The gravy/sauce was awful! Where is the sour? Only very sweet.
Trust your instincts. I didn't. I trusted the reviews, and was VERY disapppointed.
